The Rules

How To Nominate:Quote the post with the card you want to nominate. Delete everything in that post other than the card. Copy and paste your quote into a post on this thread.If you did it right the quote tag should link to the original post.

What's Eligible?Any fan-designed M:TG card posted since the most recent CotW thread went live is eligible. It doesn't even have to be the first time the card was posted. Yes, Un cards are valid. No, Yugioh cards are not.

What's Not Eligible?

Nominating your own cards. You can only nominate cards by other people

Nominating a card from your own repost, regardless of whether or not the original post was yours.

Nominations that result from collusion. If a nomination is made in exchange for some sort of favour, or under some sort of threat, then the nomination is void.

Cards that have already won CotW are not eligible for future CotWs.

Nominations that I consider to be jokes or trolling.

A Note On Contests:Many contest holders feel that having an entrant nominated for CotW will skew the results of their contest. To prevent this while still allowing those cards their chance at nomination, any card submitted to a contest is eligible for nomination to CotW as though the date the contest (or pertinent round of the contest) ended was the date the card was posted.

*"To YMTC it up" means to design cards that have value mostly from a design perspective. i.e. you would put them in a case under glass in your living room and visitors could remark upon the wonderful design principles, with nobody ever worring if the cards are annoying/pointless/confusing in actual play

Exactly. I'm the kind of evil person who plays stasis, but Solemnity/Timepiece Landstill actually allows some counterplay and requires manipulation since preexisting board still functions and instants are time stops.

At first I thought the Timepiece was a nice way to fight Storm, but then I saw Solemnity and thought "so it is a harder lock than Counterbalance and Sensei's Divining Top" ...

As much as I support designs that push power-level, there is not a single thing that can answer this once both pieces are resolved outside of an activated ability or ability triggered by landfall ... forget about winning if you have nothing on the board by then.

I am not terribly surprised to see that my favourites are the cards with the least votes.Filibuster is a new take on counter spells, and counterspells always need a new take. I mean, once they came out with "unless they pay {mana}" and alt costs, they sort of ran out of ideas. Here we get a powerful counter effect that only really belongs in tempo decks. I appreciate this design.Snapping Dextral is basically the patron saint of haste. It's a speed elemental. That is cool and if you do not think that then you are not cool like this Dextral is.

As for the Ancient Timepiece controversy, I'm not too worried that there's a particular combo that abuses it. Things like Stasis and Ensnaring Bridge are at least oppressive even outside a combo. I suppose if this counted up the counters, instead of counting down, it would have pulled into the lead by now, wouldn't it?

*"To YMTC it up" means to design cards that have value mostly from a design perspective. i.e. you would put them in a case under glass in your living room and visitors could remark upon the wonderful design principles, with nobody ever worring if the cards are annoying/pointless/confusing in actual play

i may be biased but i dont even think that a combo that requires you to play two three mana cards that are blank by themselves and requires you to have the board advantage before executing it is even that broken
